Her stomach stopped rolling just in time for her to realise what day it was. The bump was big enough that it was actually starting to get in the way, but it didn't stop her seeing patients and it didn't stop her getting Emmy up and dressed. They visited the memorial wall and left some flowers for Jessica and Alianne and for Cutter and Amy, Neil and Gordon and everyone else they'd lost in three years on the island. Later they found themselves in the kitchen. She'd kicked off her shoes and she was quite enjoying moving around under the air-conditioning. If the island stayed true to form, they only had a few of these hot days left, and then they'd be for a month of cold.
Lily always enjoyed the cold.
Emmy was sitting on one of the stools at the counter and she leaned across and patted Lily's ever increasing belly. It was a new habit, but not one that Lily felt the ened to train her out of.
"What shall we put in the cake then, kidlet?" said Lily.
"Cake!" said Emmy, drumming both hands against the counter.
Lily gave her a very definite look. Sometimes, Emmy could be just as obtuse as Jim Lennox ever knew how to be. She gave her Mom a grin full of little teeth.
"Fruit?" she asks, still grinning and then her Mom nodded and set the glass of juice down in front of her.
"Okay," she said.
Fruit anniversary cake it was, then.
